LA SALLE BASSE
This eighteenth century farmhouse makes a very special holiday home. Situated 3km from Salvagnac in the famous Gaillac wine region, it has terracotta flooring, original oak beams, a terrace and barbecue. The garden has a good sized pool enclosed by a fence and flowering shrubs and there are lovely views over the surrounding countryside with vineyards, woods and farms intermingling to form a mosaic of warm colours.

In spring nightingales sing continuously in the bushes and in summer woodpeckers, hoopoes and golden orioles visit the fruit trees and cattle egrets feed in the meadows nearby.

Toulouse, Montauban, Gaillac and Albi with their beautiful pink brick buildings, art museums and cathedrals are within easy reach. Lisle-sur-Tarn, Puycelsi, Castelnau de Montmiral, St. Antonin and Cordes are all well worth visiting and there are many other interesting towns and villages to discover. A short distance north of the house lies the forest of the Sivens and beyond that the Gresigne forest and the Aveyron river which runs through spectacular gorges and beside picturesque castles. The space museum in Toulouse is highly recommended and for children a day out to the adventure Parc Walibi at Agen is a must.

Salvagnac has a village store, a boulangerie, pharmacy, hairdresser, café, restaurant, hotel and Wednesday market. There are local markets most days of the week and Montauban (30km) and Gaillac (14km) have all the supermarkets and shops you will need.
